About the job

Corsair's Product Engineering team owns manufacturing readiness end-to-end for our hardware product lines — from NPI through mass production. We're hiring a Product Engineer to own PC Hardware and Gaming Peripherals — technically demanding, supplier-driven product lines that need hands-on engineering depth, not just program coordination.

This is an individual contributor role. You'll own the technical relationship with our R&D teams and component suppliers, drive root-cause investigations when something breaks, and be the person in the room who can read a schematic, question a DFM decision, and defend an engineering call. You'll also drive the readiness reporting and cross-functional coordination that keeps Planning, Quality, and Manufacturing aligned on where things stand.

What You'll Do

Technical Engineering Ownership:

Own NPI and sustaining engineering for PC Hardware and Gaming Peripherals — schematic and BOM review, DFMEA/DFM/DFA input, and hands-on issue resolution.

Lead technical root-cause investigations on manufacturing and field issues; distinguish process-driven causes from upstream design causes and route each to the right owner.

Review and validate PFMEA, process parameters, and test/qualification plans with suppliers; push back on weak engineering when you see it.

Drive component and material readiness — availability, compliance, cost alignment — across Corsair’s supplier base.

Manufacturing Readiness and Cross-Functional Ownership:

Track and report NPI and sustaining readiness status on a regular cadence, including second-source qualification and PCN activity.

Identify what's blocking manufacturing and drive the issue to resolution with a clear owner and timeline, rather than escalating and waiting.

Act as the primary interface between Engineering, Planning, Procurement, Quality, and Manufacturing for PC Hardware and Gaming Peripherals, consolidating detailed inputs into clear, high-level status for leadership.

Evaluate factory capacity, line qualification, and manufacturing process scalability with our contract manufacturing partners.

Build and maintain direct working relationships with OEM and contract manufacturing partners — understand their real capabilities and constraints, not just what's on paper.

Collaboration:

Partner closely with Quality on inspection criteria, audit findings, and issue closure — clear lanes, shared accountability for outcomes.

Represent PC Hardware and Gaming Peripherals in cross-functional and executive-facing readiness reviews.

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field; advanced degree a plus.

5+ years in a hardware product/NPI engineering role, with direct, hands-on ownership of power electronics, PCBA, electromechanical assemblies, or similar component-level engineering.

Demonstrated experience owning supplier relationships through EVT/DVT/PVT and mass production ramp.

Comfortable reading schematics and BOMs, and engaging suppliers on technical trade-offs directly.

Experience with root-cause analysis methodology (8D, 5 Whys, fishbone, or equivalent) and DOE and driving corrective actions to closure.

Strong written and verbal communication — able to translate technical detail into clear, exec-ready status.

Experience with gaming, consumer electronics, or power-supply hardware (including safety and efficiency certifications such as IEC 62368-1 and 80 PLUS) is a strong plus.

Comfortable working with suppliers and manufacturing partners primarily based in Asia; some flexibility for early or late calls and periodic travel (<10%) to supplier and factory sites.

For roles that are based at our headquarters in Milpitas, CA: The starting base pay for this position is as shown below. The actual base pay is dependent upon a variety of job-related factors such as professional background, training, work experience, location, business needs and market demand. Therefore, in some circumstances, the actual salary could fall outside of this expected range. This pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future.
